Even though it was not Kelvin himself standing before him, Mr Cedric knew how powerful Maraya's threats could be. I mean, she's been his secretary for a long time and Kelvin Paddington trusts her completely.Upon hearing Maraya's venomous words, he immediately fell to the ground to everyone's dismay. Maraya just stared at him in disdain."Look Mr. Cedric, I think you should save that for your boss when the deed is already done. You still have from now to a few minutes time to report yourself to your boss. For now, I'm done with you."Mr Cedric was still on his knees pleading and the policemen gazed at the unusual sight in astonishment. It was really strange.The officer who slapped Zachary was even more puzzled and scared for himself after he remembered assaulting Zachary earlier.Maraya glared at the man at her feet scornfully. Disgust evident on her face. "Mr Cedric." She uttered. "I'm not God that you should kneel at my feet. Get up and withdraw your complaints immediately." She or
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 17. The crash
It baffled Mr Stone that Zachary asked to be driven to the hospital rather than resorting to boarding a taxi. Interesting indeed.Although he had chosen to be driven in the cheapest of the cars at his garage. Kelvin had gotten a few cars for him since he moved into Villa. Driving a simple car would not arouse suspicion and cause people at the hospital to raise eyebrows. If he is seen at the hospital alighting from a Rolls Royce, people would definitely ask questions.However, Zachary had his reason for going to the hospital with his car as he would not want to take his grandfather home in a taxi. Alighting from the car, Zachary went to the doctor's office for the necessary paperworks.The door opened to reveal a slender and tall man in his early thirties who was wearing glasses. Upon seeing Zachary, the doctor immediately recognized him and greeted with a friendly smile. "Good morning Mr Zachary. How can I help you this morning?""Good morning doctor, I hope my grandfather's health

Standing before Zachary was one of his adversaries. Duncan. The guy who had backed Emily up when she stole his scholarship. He was the reckless driver who crashed his car and he still had the balls to point accusing fingers.Stone just gazed at the two in bewilderment. There was definitely a long standing enmity between them.As soon as Duncan saw Zachary, his mouth fell apart in surprise as he was bewildered with how Zachary had changed. He looked different.Was he really the owner of the car?Adding to his curiosity, Stone came forward and tried to explain the situation after calling him Boss. Duncan was shocked and as well confused.He suddenly remembered what Emily was trying to tell him the previous day. Does she really mean what she was saying? Was he really the owner of the Influitive Oil and gas—the biggest oil company in Texas. And worst was that he didn't allow her to talk.Sizing him up, Zachary's smirk turned to a sneer.Raising his brows Zachary said to Duncan. "What now?

Zachary planned to take up Nana's offer of spending time with her at the beach. Kelvin can tag along, if he wished. Although, Zachary was feeling awkward about the whole arrangement. On the contrary, his Nana was elated, so she packed all the goodies she could lay her hands on just for her grandson.However, Kelvin decided to tag along after all.Since it was the weekend, there was nothing wrong with having a little fun and spending time with the family that had given him relevance in society. It was only right for him to get to know them and possibly bond. And it was at such times that families bond with each other.The drive to fountain beach was quite long and boring. With Zachary leaving his ailing father in the care of a nurse and the domestic staff, Zachary rode down the beach with Stone driving.He wore a loose-fitting linen floral shirt and flowy kimono shorts. Lying on the car seat was his dark sunshade as well as a beach hat. Zachary has never gone to the beach before. He co

Zachary lowered his gaze in shame and Mirabel smiled inwardly. She didn't expect that the old lady would stand up for her and scold Zachary.Glancing around the place, she saw several men on black suits. Some were standing close to the old couple while others were planted at various positions looking out for their Boss. Even though it was a beach that only the elites have access to, they still needed to keep their guards up."Grandpa, Grandma." Zachary greeted his grandparents to Mirabel's astonishment because she knew who they were. The richest people in Texas.How did they suddenly become Zachary's grandparents? And why did they let him suffer for many years?Oh! This was the reason he could comfortably throw a hundred thousand dollars at the restaurant manager without batting an eye. He was the grandson of the Paddingtons. Wow! But how did it happen? Shaking off all the thoughts in her mind, she greeted the old couple who had been throwing glances at the two people in front of th

"Huh?" Emily suddenly exclaimed. She was oblivious of her parted mouth. "What is it about? I hope there's not a problem. Are you fighting with your Dad, or you must have gotten yourself into trouble?"Emily was not patient to even hear what he had to say before blabbing. She had thought that his sour mood was as a result of whatever he had to say.Duncan glared at her. He was unsure of what to reply to Emily with. What's she even talking about?"Emily." He blurted out angrily. "What the heck are you even saying? Shouldn't you have let me finish before crucifying me.""I've noticed your temper since when you called, so I deduced something was wrong." Emily tried to explain but Duncan's raised hand which signified that he was not interested in listening to her.Since she has already reached a conclusion without confirmation, there was no need to explain further."Nevermind." Tilting her head, she felt disappointed. Emily decided to play with her phone a little. It's best she let things

"It's Zachary." Emily acknowledged and Duncan nodded."What's he doing here? Who invited him, Huh? Quietly, let's leave this place. I don't want him to see us" Startled Duncan said to Emily who was as well perplexed. Her heartbeat, chaotic.Wanting to shove himself to their faces, Zachary hastened his steps. He had already seen them but had acted oblivious. Ignoring some people's eyes that were attempting to bore holes on his cheap clothes he proceeded forward.Before Duncan and Emily could flee from their spots, Zachary stood before them with Emily's heart sinking at his sight. 'Not tonight.' She thought to himself.Duncan looked dazed and Emily could tell that he was afraid. What was it really that made Duncan so stunned at the sight of Zachary? He even suggested that they flee before he reaches. 'There's definitely something Duncan is keeping from me.' Emily thought as she read the expression on Duncan's face.Directing her gaze to her fingers which she was twitching. She opened he

“Sir, the meeting will start in thirty minutes.” Maraya informed him before leaving for her office.It didn't take long and the meeting started. After the meeting was over, Zachary asked two men to wait behind. They were the general manager and the assistant general manager.Since John was the general manager, he had to wait behind. However, his heart was pounding heavily as he kept wondering what Zachary was up to.“Sir, you asked us to wait. I hope there's no problem?" The person who spoke was the assistant General Manager, Mr. Vincent.“Uh, Yeah. Please have a seat." Zachary replied to the men while his gaze was fixated at the file before him.Zachary soon lifted his face to stare at the other man. “ Mr. Vincent." He called out.“Sir." The man replied, looking tense. He was also wondering in his heart why the young boss asked him to wait behind.After a deep sigh, Zachary nodded his head and smiled at the man. “Mr. Vincent. I must say that I'm impressed with how you handle your job

Thinking that the lady will get angry, Zachary was stunned to hear her dismiss the matter.“It's ok, I hope it went well?”"Yeah, it did go well before someone came to piss me off.” Zachary replied truthfully. Although he had no intention of telling Chloe about going with Mirabel."What happened?” Chloe asked with concern. "And who's the person who offended you?”"It's a young lady flirting with me. What got me angry was the way she treated the waiter. She was so rude and arrogant. I had to tell her off and left the venue.”"Oh.” Chloe was at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, Zachary decided to change the topic.The duo chatted for a while until they were taken away by the sandman.At the office the next morning, Emily made her way to Zachary's office.

Chapter 116. What do you think?
Stone, who was not expecting such a question, lifted his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. “Ma'am, what did you say?" He pretended not to hear her the first time.Mirabel chuckled and asked the question again. “Do you think that anything can happen between me and your boss?”Stone swallowed hard. He was completely at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, he replied to Mirabel. “I…uh,.. I don't have an answer to that question.”Although Stone really wanted Zachary to end up with Mirabel, his boss was the one to make the choice himself.Mirabel smiled while still watching Stone from the mirror.“Ok, tell me what you think about me? Do you think I'd be good for Zach?" Stone pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes Ma'am, you're a great person and I think you and my boss will look good together. However, he's the one who would make the choice." “Does Zach have a girlfriend? Tell me the truth." Mirabel continued to probe further. Although she had confessed her feelings for Zachary

Swiftly, Emily rose to her feet and raced to the door. “I'm coming, Dad?" Before she could open the door, John was already on his way downstairs. “Come on, let's have our dinner." Without another word, Emily raced downstairs and to the dining table. “Hi, Dad. You're back." John only glanced at his daughter and nodded. " Yeah, what have you been up to? Tell me, did you speak with Mirabel?”Emily instantly darkened her expression when she heard Mirabel’s name.“That betrayer." She muttered to herself.“What did you say?" John inquired. It was him who encouraged E

"What do you mean by that?" With furrowed brows, Zachary gave her a questioning look. "Why would your name be on the news tomorrow?""Nevermind Zach, it's just an expression. You should understand what I was trying to imply. Did you not see the way that girl spoke to the maid like she was not a human being? That was not fair and I could no longer stand the sight. If I were to stand up for the maid and confront her, she might insult me and I would be able to take it."Zachary was silent for a while before saying to her."Emily was your friend for so many years before you guys fell apart the previous night, did she not demean people before your presence?"Emily was rendered speechless."Ugh, actually Zach…""You don't have to answer that." Zachary didn't let her finish before cutting in."Well, I'm sure that you're no longer in the mood for the dinner party. I'll go look for my grandparents and inform them before we leave."Mirabel nodded in approval. Indeed, she was no longer in the

Chapter 113. Another version of Emily

Zachary didn't need to confirm her question because everyone was already talking about him. "My name is Alice and you're at our home. Mr Ferdinand is my grandpa."The Ferdinands had called for a dinner party and invited only the elites in the city. It was a way of building a network and for business expansion. Zachary was only there because his grandfather invited him. He didn't know a lot of VIPs. All the people he had had business contact with were confused to see that Kelvin made him the new CEO.

Chapter 112. Long lost grandson
Zachary and Mirabel were approached by Kelvin as soon as they alighted from the car. Zachary's car was initially refused access to the residence until he called Kelvin and it was confirmed.

And the social media also portrayed him as the richest which was quite true.Kelvin reached out and hugged his grandson. After they pulled out of the embrace, Zachary introduced Mirabel to him."Grandpa, This is Mirabel, my…""Your girlfriend." Kelvin helped him to complete the statement with a broad smile on his face. Mirabel was already blushing from the initial compliment Kelvin had given to her. She hurriedly ended the call with Emily when Kelvin started throwing compliments at her. Hopefully, Emily didn't hear any of it or she'd get more jealous. 'So what if she gets jealous. That's her problem n

Chapter 111. I was wrong
"That person looks like Mirabel." Emily muttered from under her breath. As she turned to look closely at the type of vehicle, the car had already started leaving. However, she was able to catch the plate number and deduced something. It wasn't Mirabel's car. Moreover, she drove her car by herself."Whose vehicle was that?" Emily tried to think of where she had seen that exact vehicle."Yeah, I remember now. I'm sure I've seen that plate number somewhere and it matches with the color of the vehicle I know. Oh! It's Zachary's. I've seen him exit the company in that same car."Emily was stunned at the discovery. "What would Mirabel be doing in Zachary's car when she has her own. Moreover, where were they going?"Emily was trying so hard to find out what was really going on. Mirabel had earlier told her that they were not in a relationship yet. However, it looked like they were going to some kind of party together."Yeah, that's it. I'm sure Zachary had asked her to accompany him. It only

Chapter 110. Most beautiful girl in school
Zachary descended the stairs in style. He was dressed in a black notch lapel suit and black shoes to match. He had a pair of glasses on his right hand while his left hand was inside his pocket. He looked dashing in his outfit and quiff hairstyle. Mirabel could not help but gape at the young man as he marched towards them.Following Mirabel's gaze, Nathan saw that it was Zachary approaching. He stared at the young lady and to Zachary before clearing his throat, distracting Mirabel.Mirabel smiled and turned her face away, a blush making its way on her face. She was happy that the man had been distracted from probing her to answer his question."Ofcourse, everyone in our class knew Emily. Infact, she was popular in the whole school because she thought she was the most beautiful girl. However, that wasn't entirely true because there were other girls whose beauty superseded hers."Zachary glanced at Mirabel and continued. "Dad, Mirabel is our guest and you shouldn't be asking her such kin
